leveling in ffxiv now

been gone a bit, in coerthas and its...empty!? So without fates to level how do people do it? Leves give terrible exp as do dungeons beyond the first level when you get chain.

There's always been people around on my server doing FATEs in Coerthas. Not sure what to tell you though. When the patch hits xp from all sources are going to be raised one way or another though. (leves and guildhests will take advantage of armory bonus, dungeons being increased by 150%, Duty Roulette gives bonus XP for dungeons on top of the already increased 150%)

Dungeon XP is getting boosted. But you should be able to find an 8 man group in most areas to FATE grind.

Depends on the server I guess. Gilgamesh still has a lot of people in all the fate grinding spots.

You went to the wrong area, coerthas isn't popular area for fate any more. Lvl to 50, you pretty much only need go two areas. Coerthas isn't one of them.

uh...which ones?

alright please, someone? Apparantly two zones are more popular but no one is telling me which...which is kinda silly

On Balmung I spent a lot of time in coerthas just last weekend grinding my BLM. People absolutely do still level there. The svara fate chain and the the one with the cyclops offer great exp and people still hunt them.

42 or 44+ people goto Northern Thanalan these days, closer FATES.

Probably Mor Dhona and Northern Thanalan. However, Coerthas has bonus fates due to the Lightning event, as does Mor Dhona. Once that event ends that's a ton of exp you will miss out on. They add several new fates to those zones. Northern Thanalan doesn't benefit from this event.

From 45-50 go to camp bluefrog i'm sure you'll find some people there but it's odd that you don't see anyone in coerthas though.

He probably was referring to Quarrymill and Processing Plant.

Dungeons please, people dungeons!

But on a serious note. Dungeons are the fastest way to level up, if people are seeking.

Ugh you go from Quarrymill to Processing plant? I hate when people are in my party in Quarry mill over 30, it drags everyone elses exp from mobs way down, you can say what you want but when some douche is at level 32 to my 22 and my exp per mob goes from 250+ to 60 you need to leave. Its pretty rude to do this. Quarrymill>Costa>Highlands> N. Than. Good exp all the time. If you have to start level synching for more than 50% of the fates you need to move. But since 2.1 makes this way of leveling obsolete you should have no problems in the future.

I tried this on my tank with instant queues...they are way slower =/ However, after this new patch that will change :)

If you're on Balmung, people are prolly just hiding somewhere RPing.

I completely agree. Stop being lazy and ruining exp for others. Go to level appropriate areas.
